Comment: Huge changes. The most exciting SuperCoach-wise is the promotion of youngster Corey Oates to starting centre in place of Jack Reed (collarbone, round 22). He's a potential cheapie to get you through this week's tough bye, although job security is an issue. Matt Gillett, Corey Parker, Sam Thaiday and Justin Hodges won't play the next two weeks due Origin and the bye. Ben Hannant (calf), Jordan Kahu (thumb) and David Stagg (knee) return from injury, while former Rooster Lama Tasi makes his Brisbane debut.

Comment: Michael Gordon has again been named after a bunch of false starts - and given the tough bye round, many SuperCoaches will be hoping he finally makes a return. Tyrone Peachey is a cheapie option given the absences of Luke Lewis, Andrew Fifita (both NSW), Anthony Tupou (knee, indefinite) and Paul Gallen (foot, round 19). Todd Carney is an interesting point of difference buy in the halves, especially if he retains the kicking duties even with Gordon back.

Comment: Wow. Some serious axe wielding by Ricky Stuart. Halves Joseph Paulo and Chris Sandow have been dropped, with Luke Kelly coming into the side and Ben Roberts promoted from the bench to five-eighth. With Jacob Loko (knee, indefinite) out, Willie Tonga (back) comes into the side for his first match of 2013. Mitchell Allgood (suspension, unknown) and Pat O'Hanlon (dropped) also miss out, with Kaysa Pritchard and Matt Ryan recalled. Jarryd Hayne (hamstring) has not been named, but says he's a slight chance of making a return. Brayden Wiliame retains his wing spot despite being schooled by Jorge Taufua, which should give plenty of SuperCoaches an extra number this week.

Comment: Lewis Brown returns in the back row, pushing Clint Newton to the bench and Ryan Simpkins to 18th man. Matt Moylan and James Roberts have been retained, which is great news for those short on numbers. Roberts was an awesome buy last week, but still has plenty of rises left if you missed the boat. Josh Mansour (fractured eye socket, round 20) remains sidelined, which is a blow given he's a potential keeper in the backline at a bargain price.

Comment: Josh Morris is replaced at centre by Timoteo Lafai, while Joel Romelo fills in for Josh Reynolds at five-eighth. Sam Kasiano (hamstring) and Greg Eastwood (knee) return from injury, although Tim Browne and Martin Taupau have been named as cover. James Graham has been dropped to the bench, but that shouldn't affect his scores too much. In fact, he's due for a big one and is a genuine captain option, as is Aidan Tolman.

Comment: Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith (Queensland) and Ryan Hoffman (NSW) are all out. Ben Hampton, Mitch Garbutt, Slade Griffin and Jordan McLean offer downgrade options. In particular, Griffin has been named to start in the back row (but is a centre/wing for SuperCoach) and could see some serious minutes. The others may not be sighted again this year, which is better news than it sounds because they won't cause auto emergency drama. Tohu Harris should produce another big score after being promoted to start. With Justin O'Neill filling in for Slater at fullback, Mahe Fonua gets a run on the wing. Will Chambers and Maurice Blair are both producing.

Comment: Huge changes given four Origin players are missing. But amongst all the madness, Clint Greenshields has retained his fullback spot, with Matt Bowen (knee, round 18) to return next week. Youngster Ethan Low has been named to start ahead of Gavin Cooper and Tariq Sims (although that may change on game day). He is a decent cheapie option to get you through this week. Hopefully he doesn't play again this year. Joel Riethmuller should get good minutes this week in the absence of Dallas Johnson (dropped).

Comment: In a massive shock, rookie Peta Hiku, more known as an outside back, has been named to play halfback in place of Daly Cherry-Evans. With a BE of -24, this should ensure a handy rise before selling next week. Ligi Sao earns his NRL debut in place of Anthony Watmough (NSW). Jamie Lyon remains a great backline buy, while Jorge Taufua could be a point of difference following his massive 156.
